This was a &quot;kick ass&quot; place. I loved the atmosphere and honestly, after staying in two other hostels in Scotland, this place was a breath of fresh air. Even the huge rooms had a homey feel to them and the charging outlet options were wonderful. The beds were the best I've had in Scotland, the food cheap at the restaurant and I liked being able to do my own laundry.

The location was perfect. There is a bar in the hostel. I felt very safe since you need your key to go through many doors. Not noisy. Very nice hostel. Great kitchen and very well organised. There were lockers in the room and a nice night light for every bed :)

Beyond my expectations. Never stayed in a hostel before. It was clean bright with brilliant staff 24/7. Felt safe and above all slept well in a lovely clean bed.

Great location - right next to tourist attractions but also near to bars and clubs as well as not too far from Princes Street for shopping.
Toilets and showers were pretty clean and weren't overcrowded, rooms and other facitilies were clean as well.
Plug and USB charge point as well as reading light and small &quot;shelf&quot; next to every bed (no fighting over charge points!).
Really secure luggage room (probably the most secure I've come across) - monitored entry and lockers for bags, your stuff will be safe here!
Really excellent hostel, would thoroughly recommend!

The hostel is superb! The location is perfect (central, exceptional view). Small flaws: the toilets are closed in the middle of the day, the cleaning staff are extremely noisy even if some occupants were sleeping.

This hostel is really huge with several lounges, kitchens ... But it is still very friendly where life is good! I really loved to spend my evenings there reading in the living room, playing guitar or billiards ... In addition there are plenty of parties organized where you can meet people and if you want to stay only it's totally possible too !!

Very nice hostel, very well located (literally at the foot of the castle), a minute walk from the Royal Mile, and all, really cheap! Good atmosphere, there are activities offered almost every night, the staff is approachable and lovely, and the places are clean! Everything is in a medieval style, almost castle for the entry, then each room / dormitory to his theme, I love it! I booked a girls room, and although we were 12, everything was clean, quiet and respectful, frankly I'm delighted! I recommend with eyes closed!

The most perfect hostel I've ever been! I was traveling with my parents and a bit worried if they would mind staying in a hostel, which is a bit informal sometimes. But they simply loved it. The decoration, the friendliness of the staff, the facilities, even our room in the last floor though we had some luggage. Great stay!!

Castle Rock was an excellent hostel, the location is great especially if you are visiting for the fringe festival. There is a large kitchen with a number of fridges so there is plenty of room for your food. The rooms are all very well kept and the beds are clean and comfortable, I was staying in a 16 bed dorm however the rooms are set up to still allow you some privacy which was great. The showers and bathrooms are regularly cleaned and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Castle Rock is definitely one of the best hostels I have stayed in.

There are also some activities organised within the hostel (language exchange, games..). The views from the dinning room are amazing, it was very pleasant chilling out there with a coffee! I would deffinitely recommend it!

For having housed successively Castle Rock Hostel and High Street Hostel, both very well located, I could compare both well my experience was probably biased by the fact that I was not traveling but looking for apartment. In both I found many positive points such as the "lounges" very nice to ask in the evening, the possibility of breakfast and laundry (for a low), friendly and accessible staff and daily screenings of movies. MSM Pros: - location (almost no need to take the bus to visit the best corners of the city) - the price (the cheapest to be accommodated so close to the center) - the particularly friendly staff Cons: - overwhelming majority French (not very serious but not very exotic) - 2 showers, 2 toilets and 4 sinks per floor (for two rooms, one of 18 people) - the door of the dormitory that slams very loudly, the light in the corridor that also lights the interior thanks to a window placed above the door ... in short if your bed is ready for the entrance, you will enjoy the nocturnal awakenings of each of your 17 comrades. -some space to put nothing but his travel bag in the dormitories

This is the best hostel ever! The location is perfect (!!!) , the staff is extremely friendly and helpful, everything's clean, there's free wifi that works and is relatively fast (I had no trouble uploading high resolution photos). I stayed in a room for 16 people but the room is organised in such a way that you actually get some privacy and can't even see all the beds. The room also had lockers (you get the key with your room key), every bed had its own sockets (mine had 4, I had some trouble getting them to work but it was probably because of my adapter and at least one would always work so it was fine!). Each room has a &quot;theme&quot; and they assign your bed (which has a name, depending on the theme). There's also a laundry service and you get clean and dry clothes delivered to your bed in a couple of hours for only &pound;3.50! The breakfast isn't included in the price, but it's really cheap. I can't tell you more than that as I never eat breakfast at hostels. There's free coffee and tea and the lounge areas are very nice! The bathrooms get cleaned regularly, the showers are good, there's hooks for all your things and there were even towels that you could use, idk if you had to pay for them, but they were right there on the hooks by the sinks and they changed them every day! All in all, perfect!
